Sugar Trust Under Scrutiny as Taft Orders Inquiry
The article outlines allegations that the Pennsylvania Sugar Refining Co. was harmed by a sugar trust scheme involving a loan that gave control of the refinery to a loaner connected to the trust. It notes a $30 million damage settlement, calls for an investigation by Attorney General Wickersham under the Sherman law, and argues tariff language on Dutch Standard color sustains the sugar trust, proposing reform for lower prices and better sugar. It also references related political and tariff debates and a chaotic legislative atmosphere.
